Posted by Fred Steiner on Tuesday, March 10, 2015

By Monty Siekerman
The Bluffton Paving Co., bid of $1.3 million for the Klingler Road improvement project was accepted by Ada village council Tuesday night. The Bluffton firm was the lowest of eight bids.

The road improvement will extend from the railroad tracks south to Lima Avenue, about half a mile in length. The old surface will be taken up and the new road will be wider, going from the present 19 foot width to 28 feet.

The project calls for curbing and storm sewer modifications, including a retention basin.
A sidewalk will be installed on the west side for the entire length of the new roadway. Lighting will be added, as well.

Here's the latest on spring soccer in Ada. It's from the Ada Soccer Association Facebook, posted by Mark Light:

"This is the current state of the soccer fields. The coaches now have their rosters, but probably will not be able to start practice until the fields are a little drier.

"Also we are waiting for a dirt pile to be removed from the driveway so that we may get to the fields. Please have patience with these roadblocks to spring soccer."
